The Temporary Vegetarian: Five Vegetables and 15-Grain Rice Pot

After extensive research I'm going to say that Zaitzeff has the best burgers in the East Village. And not that I would know this from personal experience or anything, but they deliver in a huge radius, and the burgers actually travel well. The house made Portuguese bun is key.
18 Avenue B, between 2nd and 3rd streets. You won't be sorry. (I like the sirloin over the kobe.)
Bring it on (the $10 sauce anyway)!!
Urbani Truffles Opens in New York
Glass vases are piled with truffles in the windows of the sleek new American headquarters of Urbani Truffles. It’s a combination showroom, demonstration kitchen and sales office, like the one Urbani runs in Umbria, Italy, near Spoleto. And it is open to shoppers, who will find an array of truffles. The only fresh ones in season now are the big summer truffles on display, black outside, taupe inside, with a scent like white truffles. There are truffle products of all kinds, including oils and paste. A delightful newcomer is a line of truffle sauces in eight combinations: white truffles with white mushrooms or porcini; and summer truffles with artichokes, tomatoes, mushrooms, cream or red or green pesto. Though a mere six ounces, each can provides enough deeply flavorful sauce for two to four servings of pasta. The sauces can also be stirred into risotto or served with grilled meats, fish or eggs.
Urbani Truffles, 10 West End Avenue (60th Street), (212) 247-8800, urbanitrufflesonline.com. Truffle Thrills pasta sauces are $9.95 for 6.1 ounces.

Welcome to Salumeria Rosi.
Salumeria Rosi is a small, neighborhood salumi shop and restaurant. The Salumeria is located in New York City's Upper West Side, but is much like one you would find on any street corner in Italy. We offer a wide variety of traditional Italian cured meats to be enjoyed on the spot or taken to go.
The Rosi family has produced high-quality salumi in Italy for generations. They are as passionate about pork as they are tradition. In opening Salumeria Rosi, the Rosi family hopes to share with you a part of life deeply-rooted in Italy, and especially in their hometown of Parma. They have teamed up with Cesare Casella - Italian chef per eccellenza - to create a special menu of prepared-foods and dishes, typically found in salumerie across Italy.
A visit to one's local salumeria is considered a daily ritual for most Italians - we hope that it will be for you as well.

Ate at The Harrison for the first time and it was quite delish, they have been around almost 10 years now and like Chambers St Wines they opened in 2001, a unique time in Tribeca History.
Finally went to Buttermilk Channel and they handed us a popover apon sitting down and than fresh market food arrived too. They use our pals Caputo's and list them on the menu, it was yummy as well, all American wine not for me but the beers were delish.
Frankies folks Prime Meats was very good (minus the very week french fries) and my kind of menu. Not my kind of room but I had the best beer in years here, sadly cant remember the name.
